Heard from J today...surprise!!

We haven't heard from J in many weeks, so it was a bit surprising that he actually called me on Mother's Day. I was shocked!!

The story gets more interesting...

First of all, he was messed up. I think he was drunk...not drugging. He wished me Happy Mother's Day, which was a surprise. NEVER has he done that.

Then he proceeds to tell me that he is living with a 'girl' that he is totally in love with. He talks about how much in love he is and that he has never been in love so it feels so good. She has two kids...17 and 19. She is 45. He's 24. (I'm 46.)

He went on and on about how he bought her four cards, flowers, balloons, etc., for Mother's Day. He wouldn't let her get out of bed...it was HER day and he is cooking and cleaning.

He said she's a 'Mexican' lady and knows how to take care of him and keeps him straight. I could care less about the nationality, but thought it was interesting that he brought that up. He moved in with her two weeks ago and is loving life. They want to have a child.

Well, stranger things have happened. Whatever floats your boat!!

He says he's working 12 hour days, making lots of overtime...yet he lost his wallet yesterday with all his new cards (SSI, state ID, ATM) in it. He doesn't remember where he was in order to find it. Hmmm....

It was nice to hear from him. Said the last 10 years of his life are over and he's moving forward. Honestly, I don't care who it is with as long as he keeps on the straight and narrow. Every digit crossed at this point.

ant doesnt drug anymore but is drunk every night. he is looking for a woman to take care of him. I always knew that. he cannot be alone. he works all anyone wants too. so there is some progress.

funny how their lives parallel at times. you may have read my post wherein ant was robbed of his wallet containing his SS card, state ID, atm, pin number, 400.00 etc. I told him he had to figure out how to get this stuff taken care of. amazingly he went to the bank and got that straight, and got someone to drive him to get a new photo ID. the SS card is up to him too.

I am glad J hated his last 10 yrs enough to try a new path. I am glad he remembered you. it is a start.

Well Abbey that is quite a surprise. Hope he can move forward...
Is he living around you?? You just have to wonder somedays, er most days.
J is still round here, he had a baby awhile back so far so good in that he is taking a huge part in caring for her.
I think he will always make me nervous though.
